Would some people be interested in moderating a fediversememes community? (feddit.org)

A meme posted to [email protected] : https://feddit.org/post/2421485

@[email protected] already expressed interest.

For me, there are a few pros and cons.

Pros:

Memes are an easy way to convey a message
Fediverse-specific content is always nice

Cons

Memes communities tend to be very popular
Due to the topic of the community, there might be some heated debates and discussions in the comments (the example above with the vegan cat food is a good example). That might be quite time-consuming to follow and moderate

Based on this, I think we would need probably at least 5 mods to make sure the community stays sufficiently moderated.

Are any of you interested?

I'd be willing to help, but I'd like to know you're logic for such a niche community needing 5 mods? I can't imagine such a community would get more traffic than, say, [email protected] and I wouldn't call that community under-moderated.

Thank you!

Better safe than sorry to be honest, it might be niche but it might have a wide audience due to the topic.

Seems like you have a feddit.uk account, so that might be where we host it.

@[email protected] would you be okay to open a feddit.uk alt to mod? Reports don't federate properly at the moment

yup can do!
thank you for the update🤗

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Cool, I'll open the community tomorrow if I find some time

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)
